The Texas woman who had sought court permission to obtain an abortion due to a medical emergency, will instead leave the state to secure the procedure elsewhere.
The woman, Kate Cox, has been diagnosed with having a fetus that has a genetic abnormality likely to cause stillbirth or death after birth.
Texas law bans abortion with few exceptions includes cases of medical emergency.
A state court issued an initial order permitting her to receive the procedure, then the state Supreme Court on Friday temporarily stayed that decision.
The stay followed an appeal from Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton, who had challenged the lower court’s decision.
